10 APR 2024 · Welcome to today's episode of Managing Around! Imagine a world where every voice, no matter how seemingly contradictory, will be heard. Where the diverse needs, goals, and perspectives within a social work organisation not only coexist but thrive together. This is not a distant utopia. It should be reality in social work institutions. Hybridity and multi-rationality in these organisations help us to understand why and how diverse perspectives and values can coexist, and how we can develop a cohesive strategy for navigating the complex landscape of social work institutions. Today, we dive into how these concepts are revolutionising the way we think about and manage social work, transforming challenges into innovative solutions. So, stay tuned. We start with an exploration of the two concepts and then move on to practical implications for professional practice. Reference: Arnold, M. (2020). Multirationalität und Hybridität. In M.

2 MAR 2024 · Have you ever wondered what separates the best from the rest in the world of management? What if I told you there's a secret tool that has transformed how we understand leadership, innovation, and organisational development? – The magic is simply the Critical Incident Technique or CIT – a tool that's been shaping management research since the 1960s. This technique, stemming from the innovative work of psychologist John C. Flanagan, has transcended its military origins to become a cornerstone in understanding and improving various facets of organisational life. Join us as we explore how pivotal moments can redefine organisational success and development and uncover the lessons that can turn challenges into opportunities for growth. Through the lens of CIT, every incident tells a story, and every story holds the key to unlocking extraordinary potential. References: Flanagan, J. C. (1954). The critical incident technique.

31 JAN 2024 · We are drawing inspiration from Paul Bate's seminal work, "Strategies for Cultural Change," in which he challenges traditional views of organisational culture, urging us to see it not just as an attribute an organisation has, but as the very essence. As we explore his insights, we will unravel the complexities of 'thinking culturally' about organisations and discuss practical strategies for enacting meaningful and sustainable cultural change. We navigate the intricate pathways of altering the very core of an organisation's identity. References: Bate, S. P. (1995). Strategies for Cultural Change (1st ed.).

31 JUL 2023 · In this episode, we will discuss the topic of "Five theses for the further development of SoTL in higher education teaching". SoTL stands for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and it is a movement that aims to enhance the quality and impact of teaching and learning in higher education. And this is done through research and evidence-based practices. Based on a recently published article by the host of this podcast and his colleagues from the German-speaking SoTL-Netzwork (Nerea Vöing and Sabine Reisas), I will present and explain the five theses that can support a more robust integration, promotion and sustainable development of SoTL in higher education teaching and even beyond. These theses are based on the research-oriented approach of SoTL and have an impulsive character. The theses address different perspectives: quality development (1), transdisciplinary collaboration (2), internationalisation (3), inter-institutional cooperation (4) and networking and community building (5).
